HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN

Today is my son Bens birthday...hard to believe he's 29...where did the years go...

The month of June is full of birthdays at our house...five of them...three sons, my sister in law and my mother in law...but Ben's is first...he used to get upset that his birthday always took second place to whoever was graduating...but thats a thing of the past with early school endings around here...graduation has moved up a week...last week...

We are off momentarily to shop for his present and then onto a great dinner at either the Snug...great steaks or the new restaurant thats the hit around town PF Changs...at the mall...no i didnt say at the mall did i? A fun busy day...

every year he gets a Dairy Queen Ice Cream cake and this year is no exception...so i did a quick painting of one for his birthday...if you havent tried one you should..completely made from their low fat ice cream...based on a pic of thier cakes on their website...done with wc pencil and ink in my wc moleskine...got a feeling its not staying in there though!!

Everyday in May...well at least one of them!:>

Savannah River Days

This is the view out the den window from where i sit and draw or paint or take a nap or.....you get the idea:> The river is about 300 yards wide at this point...beautiful sunny day...slight breeze causing some ripples on the river. Windsor Newton WC in my moleskine...MANY layers of paint ...also my old splayed paintbrush helped make the foliage.
